UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / January 27, 2026 / Marquis Who's Who honors Lois Kenney for her expertise in real estate financing. Ms. Kenney is a highly respected loan officer with more than 20 years of experience in the real estate and mortgage industry. She has joined NEXA Mortgage LLC, bringing a wealth of knowledge and a true passion for helping people achieve homeownership.

About Ms. Lois Kenney:

With more than 20 years of experience in lending and real estate finance, Ms. Kenney has built her career around helping buyers use homeownership as a wealth-building tool. Known for her strategic approach to lending, she guides clients in using real estate to build equity, reduce housing costs, and create additional income streams. Her work today includes advising both first-time buyers and experienced investors on practical pathways such as no-down-payment loan programs.

She also educates clients on owning multi-unit properties, where rental income can significantly reduce the cost of ownership and accelerate equity growth. This strategy not only reduces financial pressure but also positions clients to expand their real estate portfolios more quickly. With rental income from additional units, buyers can offset a substantial portion of their mortgage, often making ownership more affordable than renting.

Ms. Kenney strongly believes that real estate is one of the most reliable ways to build wealth over time. By using financing correctly, homebuyers can benefit from appreciation, tax advantages, and leverage, allowing them to control high-value assets with comparatively low initial investment. She has a strong commitment to helping younger buyers enter the real estate market, believing it is important to start investing in oneself as early as possible. Though the idea of purchasing property can feel overwhelming, creative strategies can make it achievable. Buying a single-family home and renting out extra bedrooms can generate additional income to help offset monthly mortgage costs. For example, purchasing a three-bedroom home and renting out two rooms can significantly reduce housing expenses. Homeownership offers an opportunity to build equity, create financial stability, and take control of one's future.

Ms. Kenney holds a bachelor's degree in business and management, graduating summa cum laude from the University of Redlands. She was also valedictorian of La Sierra High School in Riverside, California, where she earned a diploma with a focus in mathematics and English.

In her current role with NEXA Mortgage, she works with first-time buyers and seasoned investors alike, showing them how to enter the market sooner and build equity more efficiently. Earlier in her career, Ms. Kenney spent 14 years as a market leader at Movement Mortgage LLC, earning Presidents Club recognition on multiple occasions. She is a licensed loan officer and works closely with real estate agents, borrowers, and investors to structure loans tailored to long-term financial goals.

"For me, the most rewarding part of my job is helping people see that real estate isn't out of reach," Ms. Kenney said. "When clients understand how no-down-payment options and income-producing properties work, they realize they can build wealth sooner than they ever expected."

A Career Built on Strategy, Discipline and Education

Ms. Kenney credits her success to a strong work ethic and a commitment to continuous learning, qualities instilled early by her parents. She believes the future of the mortgage industry will be affected by technology and artificial intelligence, which she sees as tools that can open the door for more families to become homeowners.

Working as a team with her husband, Mike, Ms. Kenney blends modern lending technology with an old-school commitment to personal service. Borrowers who need extra guidance are always welcomed. As a team, they enjoy taking the time to educate, support and walk clients through every step of the process, with a special emphasis on customizing the loan product to each individual borrower. Their approach ensures that even first-time or non-traditional buyers feel confident and informed as they move toward homeownership.

Looking ahead, Ms. Kenney aims to mentor the next generation on the financial benefits of owning property, especially in high-appreciation markets like California, where equity growth can be transformative for long-term security. She also plans to deepen her involvement with NEXA Cares, supporting charitable partnerships with organizations such as the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

Outside of work, Ms. Kenney leads an active lifestyle, enjoying yoga, walking, traveling with her husband, and adventures with her dogs. She remains engaged in community initiatives, including the Believe Walk for Cancer, and is a member of the Redlands Chamber of Commerce. True to her can-do philosophy, she follows a simple motto: "If a job needs to be done, I'll figure it out."
